Kids in a Parade

Today the kids and I marched in the Days of 47 Youth Parade behind our stake's float.  The float had a large piggy bank to remind us all that our stake's namesake, President Heber J. Grant, repeatedly reminded church members to save their money and avoid debt.  That's why Emerson and his friends are wearing penny hats in this picture of them marching in the parade from the Deseret News:

Check out the pics next to the story and you'll see Emerson and his buddies.  Stella and Atticus waved the whole way despite having to wait for three hours in 96-degree heat next to a large pile of dirt (resulting in happy but grimy parade participants) before we started to move.

Great pictures of the parade and your summer so far. Lisa and Tad- great job on your races! What an excellent time you both had for the race. I love Stella's birthday party- what a cute idea!
